Lesson Proper The teacher will discuss the lesson on the 9 Basic Rules of the SubjectVerb Agreement: Rule 1 Singular subjects need singular verbs, while plural subjects require plural verbs. Examples: a. Edina sings beautifully. b. The boys go to church. Exemption to the rule: The pronouns I and You follow a different rule. Examples: I walk at the park. You wash the dishes. Rule 2 Compound subjects connected by and, use a plural verb. Example: Chad and Rachelle are transferring to another school. Rule 3 Consider the subject closer to the verb of two or more subjects joined by OR or NOR. Example: Either her colleagues or her boss leads the opening. Rule 4 If there is a phrase that comes between the subject and the verb, consider the subject and not the noun or pronoun in the phrase. Example: The teacher as well as her students walks to the library. Rule 5 Each, each one, either, neither, everyone, everybody, anybody, anyone, nobody, somebody, someone, no one; these are all singular and requires a singular verb. Example: Nobody remembers who lead the school hymn last week. Rule 6 Words such as Mathematics, Measles, Physics, News, and or nouns that end with -s but are not considered plural, requires singular verb. Example: Physics is a difficult subject. Rule 7 Words such as scissors, tweezers, trousers, shears, and the like are always considered plural. Example: My shorts are made of pure cotton. Rule 8 The word "here" and "there" are not subjects. When the sentence starts with these words, the subject is placed after the verb. Example: There is my jacket. There are my jackets. Rule 9 Team, committee, class, family, and the like are collective nouns. - In considering collective nouns as either singular or plural, you have to analyze how the verbs are use. Example: The troop of monkeys is running. The troop of monkeys are doing different fun activities D.
